Going through a divorce was the worst thing I have ever experienced. I was referred to Lingle Legal Services by an attorney in my office who had worked with Stephanie when he was a prosecutor, he said that she had a lot of trial experience which was important to me because I wanted to take my ex-wife to the cleaners. Attorney Lingle did an excellent job of keeping me updated about the particulars (laws/procedures/timelines/what I could expect next) of my case). She was quick to respond to my calls and emails. Most importantly she was a voice of reason at a time when I was understandably a little irrational in what I wanted to happen. This ended up saving me a lot of money as she was able to negotiate a settlement that cost me significantly less than a trial would have even though she would have be the main person to benefit from my case becoming protracted. Because of this I can honestly give her 5 stars for trustworthiness, what other lawyers give advice that gets them lower fee bills?
